Sony gets way too much credit for making gaming cool for non-children gamers.

The reality is 3rd parties are really what made Sony consoles successful.

Good point.


It is indeed a good point....but as it stands WITHOUT SONY those 3rd parties would not have been what they are today.

That is something I do not get, NIN and SEGA were both around but somehow but those 3rd parties went with Sony and blew up.

Sony did a lot right they deserve the credit that they got. Let's not take anything away from them folks!

Gaming was always cool, but thanks to Sony(whether it be from 3rd party support or not) gaming EXPANDED 100 fold...


Sony gave third parties a lot of freedoms that Nintendo didn't.  Third parties had to be batshit crazy to put up with Nintendo's tyranical policies of the 80's and 90's but since Nintendo was so dominant, they didn't have much of a choice.  Sega wasn't really a viable option because they had screwed their fanbase time and time again with unsupported hardware.  Sony offered a lot of incentive and low dev costs.  The PS1 became the default home of the third party, espcecially when Nintendo went full retard and stuck with cartridges.
